Liverpool-based Hyperion expands international portfolio with US assignment

Hyperion Executive Search, a recruitment firm for the clean energy sector, has expanded its international client portfolio with its first Amercian assignment.

The Liverpool-based company has been chosen by German energy storage firm Sonnen to recruit for a VP sales marketing position to drive growth in the US.

Launched in 2014, Hyperion has already won a number of projects covering Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with companies such as South Korean chemical giant LG Chem and tech firms Hanwha Q CELLS and SMA Solar Technology AG.

Hyperion’s managing partner, David Hunt, said: “We always planned to grow our business internationally but winning prestigious assignments in Germany and the United States has put us ahead of schedule.

“We are now actively planning to open our first offices outside of the UK.”

He continued: “One of the biggest areas of activity is Germany which is often the first place clean energy companies go when looking at developing their presence in the European or EMEA region.

“Germany has become hugely reliant on renewables for electricity generation – producing five times as much as it did a decade ago.”
